wow.....is all that stuff true? Especially the stuff about the medal for Rosa Parks! I can't believe he wouldn't have voted for the medal....I guess I have some thinking to do.

peace out

Given your low post count, you may be a troll. But I'll answer anyway.

Ron Paul doesn't like spending tax payer money on anything that isn't critical to running the federal government. Once you start down that path, it's really difficult to stop as every politician can find an innumerable amount ways to justify spending. All one has to do is look at the rampant pork in every budget and you can see this fact. In one absurd example, a congressman even used 9/11 to justify a piece of pork for peanut farmers in his state "to protect America".

In the case of Rosa Parks, Ron Paul was not against giving her recognition (in fact, he admired her for here non-violent protest which is something he advocates). What he was against was the rather large sum of tax payer's dollars that would be needed to pay for the medal. Instead, he suggested that the members of congress, as representatives of the people, pool their own funds together to pay for the medal. Out of all the members of congress, he alone was willing to put up HIS OWN MONEY to pay for this. The rest of congress wanted to spend tax payer's dollars.

If you truly believe it is the federal governments job to spend you're money the way THEY see fit, then perhaps you do not understand what Ron Paul is all about. It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and it holds true. Federal funds should be limited to what the federal government needs to spend in order to complete its job. Opening the door to other spending, ven if your intentions are good and genuine, inevitably will lead to disaster (as we are seeing now).

The irony is those things are absolute nitpicking over a 20 year history of votes and views. It shows that the only way to attack RP is to twist around random ancient tidbits. Meanwhile, the other Republican candidates can't account for what they stood for 2 years ago. :yawn:

Someone pointed me to an old post from the Ron Paul Forums mocking our previous FAQ on the Rosa Parks medal. The funny thing is how the first poster writes "check this! Stupidity, really to the bone," only to have everyone regurgitate the very same talking points that have been refuted in the FAQ, without ever actually acknowledge the fact that it was addressed in the FAQ. You know, "It was tax payer funded," "Ron Paul pitched in his own money," yadda yadda yadda.

If you're going to mock an article, then it might help to actually read said article before you fall back on your standard talking points. Especially if the entire point of said article is to refute the talking points in questions. Unfortunately, Paultards aren't capable of doing that. Not only do they refuse to accept contradictory viewpoints, which is normal, they instead have to live in an imaginary world where they pretend that contradictory viewpoints don't exist. That theirs is the only viewpoint on Earth, and the only reason why everyone else hasn't adopted it is because they haven't "woken up" yet.

That's one of the reasons why I wrote the Rosa Parks FAQ in the first place. When you bring up an argument to the Paultards on why Ron Paul is a moron, they will twist and turn in an attempt to avoid all rational discussion on facts, evidence, and theory. The fact that they're willing to launch discussion threads about the FAQ while refusing to actually discuss the content of the FAQ hints at their own vulnerability. The don't want to acknowledge the content, because they know that they're weak on that issue. And their weakness on that issue can be exploited.

Notice he never refutes the points that were made in this thread about why RP voted NO. Besides, who cares about people like this screaming for our attention now. Your day has come and gone "Ron Lawl". Keep trolling for the blog hits that have now dried up. You're way too transparent.

I hate to tell this PAULTARD that writes this sad blog, but no one cares what Ron did or did not do with the Rosa Parks medal. NO ONE! He voted no which was his right no matter the reason. WE know the reason was because this is not how you are supposed to spend taxpayer money.

This guy's fundamental premise is incorrect. The fact is this: THE MEDAL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Just because some have been given out in this country's history doesn't mean it's right.

We could apply this logic to many things Ron Paul is against today. Jefferson's westward expansion was perhaps the most fraudulent and interventionist use of the federal government's power at the time. But does that mean that our current imperialist expansion and interventionist war doctrines are right too? Of course not. Just because FDR snatched the writ of Habeus Corpus from under the feet of helpless and innocent Japanese during WWII, does that mean Guantanamo Bay is right? The answer should be obvious.

This guy has to stop wasting his time, because Ron Paul's movement is one made up of people who are educated, well-read, and intelligent. This loser is not.

LMAO! would you like to puts any facts into that smear. Congress approves spending but taxpayers don't have to pay for it? Just who will $#@!?

Treasury Department, which takes in profit and is in the black. If you'd read the whole thing you would have learned this.

the louisiana purchase and jay treaty were fraudulent and interventionist? how so?!
and presumably the point isn't that everything in US history is inherently good, but that the founding fathers understood and followed the constitution well enough seeing as it's the expression of their ideas.

Agreed. I hope that we're not missing the fact (I doubt that anyone is) that this article was written to get traffic from Ron Paul supporters to the website. I seriously doubt that anyone else would bother to read it.

I can't stand people who write stupid $#@! but act like they have a Masters in English.

"Read said article so that I may verify said article." What the $#@! is he trying to insinuate.

Just because we promote peace, prosperity, and trustworthiness in Congress doesn't mean we can't read or understand you, you dumb ass. We are people with common sense. We advocate personal freedom, and that makes us a retard why?

Oh maybe it's because I had a singular pronoun that conflicted with a plural noun in that last sentence huh, (us a retard)? Yeah, that qualifies me as a lesser human being.
